“So, where were you today?”

I looked at Marvin with wide eyes. After spending our day together at the house, he surprised me with a homemade dinner and ended our evening in the kitchen. Who would’ve thought all of this was to interrogate me?

“I was at this hotel with this guy from my work.” I teased him, avoiding an answer. Other than these stupid, obvious jokes-I couldn’t keep lying to him.

“No, seriously.” Marvin raised his brow.

“You nosy pig.” I punched his shoulder. “Did I ask what you were doing today, hm?”

Marvin rubbed the back of his neck and smiled shyly. “You’re right.” He spoke. “It’s not really my business. I just thought maybe you met up with your dad-”

“Well, I didn’t.”

With a look of pity, Marvin propped his chin on his hand, observing the look on my face. One thing was sure. I would not be the first one to reach out to my family.

“What are you staring at?”

“That green thing between your teeth.” Marvin pulled a disgusted face, moving his finger to my incisors to remove it. “Right there!”

I smacked my hand over my mouth as he pulled away from his hand and lowered my head, embarrassed. “You should’ve told me sooner!” I cleaned my teeth with my tongue. Talk about embarrassing.

“And miss out on the opportunity to make fun of you?” Marvin cackled. “Never.”

“That’s it. I’m breaking up with you!”

“Is that what our marriage will be like in the future?” Marvin asked. “You threatening to divorce me any second.”

“M-marriage?”

Just the thought made my heart beat out of my chest, and it was not because I felt flattered. It was because I had no idea what the future had in store.

Marvin cleared his throat uncomfortably. “I’m sorry, I-I just thought…”

“No, don’t be!” I stopped him. “It’s just that we’ve never discussed something serious like that before.”

It’s true. We didn’t. Other than the day Anya died, our friendship and relationship had mainly been laughs and giggles.

“Would you like to be my wife one day?”

I blushed. “That depends. Is that a proposal?”
